The ongoing "I heart Jonathan Toubin" movement now has a website in addition to a Facebook. Check those sites for info on more upcoming JT benefits like the big one that happened at Brooklyn Bowl late Friday night into Saturday morning with appearances from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Reverend Vince Anderson (who plays Union Pool most Monday nights), Heavy Trash (with Jon Spencer), Stabbing Eastward (Tunde Adebimpe & Ryan Sawyer), Royal Baths and more. Here are some pictures. More of them below...

What "most people" do or do not know is not an excuse for not being familiar with something, especially something considered by "most people" to be an important influence in the history of the punk/indie/alternative/whatever music that "most people" who read this blog are "mostly" into.

Plus, "Human Fly" has been covered and recorded by a bunch of other bands (Halo of Flies, for instance). It's not just some obscure b-side, there's been plenty of chances for someone to be aware of it.

Relax Dave and others so bothered by this. It should not shock you that the fools who still worship YYY's would not know the song was Human Fly. Makes perfect sense to me. Just sit back and laugh at those comments such as the ones made by 11:23, 1:49 and 1:59. Dumb idiots, get a clue.

Nice nod to the Cramps by the YYY's, tho I would have preferred TV Set or Uranium Rock instead. Cramps put on an insane live show back in the day-
complete pandemonium- and had a sound uniquely their own.

^ Which points out another reason why not recognizing Human Fly is a little bit shameful. There's people rushing in here to say how much they like YYY's, yet THIS BAND THAT YOU CLAIM IS YOUR FAVORITE is pointing to this other band (The Cramps) and saying, "Hey, this is one of our influences"... yet you still haven't bothered to check them out and get familiar with them. What other incentive are you waiting for? This is how you learn stuff.
